Overview
Built for anglers who want to work a jerkbait deeper in the water column, this lure is designed to be fished with forward-facing sonar and brought down to the target depth before the retrieve begins. Its sinking profile lets you count it down, then work it back with the erratic action associated with the KVD 300 Deep Jerkbait. The Carolina Chrome finish gives it a clean, fishable look, while the deep-sinking design makes it a practical choice when standard jerkbaits are not reaching the zone you want to cover.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Designed for a deeper presentation, so it may be less suited to shallow-water jerkbait work.
- The nearly 0.5-feet-per-second sink rate requires attention to depth control before starting the retrieve.
- Best results depend on using it as intended with forward-facing sonar and a deliberate sink-then-rip approach.
- Its action is described as erratic, which can be effective but may call for a more active retrieve than a steady-moving bait.
